Red Band Teaser Trailer for Action Comedy 'The Hitman's Bodyguard'

"I hope they kill him, I really do." Lionsgate has debuted the first red band teaser trailer for director Patrick Hughes' new action film, titled The Hitman's Bodyguard. This action comedy stars Ryan Reynolds as the world's top bodyguard who is hired to protect a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. Samuel L. Jackson plays the notorious hit man, and they must get over their differences in order to make it to the trial on time. Also starring Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Elodie Yung, Joaquim de Almeida, and Sam Hazeldine. I'm glad they are introducing this with a red band trailer, as it makes a difference with this footage. All the dialogue is hilarious, and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Have fun.
